Looks like this will be the invitation player's will be able to purchase on the Black Market Auction House, per the patch notes posted here.

Entry into the brawler’s guild is by invitation only. Invitations can be found on the black market auction house or by invitation from somebody within the guild.

Welcome to Brawler's Guild. The first rule of Brawler's Guild is: you do not talk about Brawler's Guild. The second rule of Brawler's Guild is: you DO NOT talk about Brawler's Guild! Third rule of Brawler's Guild: someone yells "stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: No shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Brawler's Guild, you have to fight.

According to the PTR patch notes, they can now drop from certain Alliance or Horde NPCs! Hurrah!

The invitations these mobs drop are BOP and are not a 100% drop. The rares can all be found in or right next to their respective faction's keeps and appear to currently have a 30-60 minute respawn timer.

Comment by Ninjaking47

Apparently from certain websites like gamebreaker u will not be able to get the Blood-Soaked Invitation for at least 24 hours on the BMAH(Black Market Auction house) but i have not heard if they still drop from the 6 NPC's will test when servers come back up and edit if i see anyone getting one.

Comment by Midgetpower

After using this item for alliance, go to the Deeprun Tram from SW side, go down the ramp slightly to your left, there is a entrance to the brawler's guild area straight ahead.

Comment by Darmistra

I was at the Black Market and I placed a bid on 1 of the 20 invitations listed each at $1000. There was not a bid on any other invitation and this of course being patch day!

Comment by consterboi

Please make a note if anyone has seen a drop in last 12 hours.

Comment by Cowoth

Since the patch 5.1, invitations can be purchased from the black market auction house at the Veiled Stair.

Since the patch, I've noticed at least 10 invites available for sale each day by Madame Goya. The bids start at 1000g but most of them have closed above 30,000g when the auction ends on my server. Price will definitely decline if it continues to be available every day.

Once you reach Rank 7 in the Brawler's Guild you are able to invite only one person into it.

The invite acquired via a Rank 7's invitation is tradeable and consumed on use, which means you can sell it. It's also important to note that both invites and invitation by a Rank 7 member is account-wide and cross-server. So, if you acquire it on one character, ALL will be able to participate in Brawler's Guild matches.

There are some interesting rewards; most notable among them are a pet ( rare quality ) that requires Rank 4 and a BoA Fist Weapon that requires Rank 8. They also sell potions usable only in the Brawler's Guild and items that you can throw at other players in the arena or at the spectators when they become angry at the end of a match.

Each match you win you also receive a bag with some items that are worth some gold.

How to find the Brawler's Guild, in case you are lost, Alliance-wise:

Go to the Deeprum Tram, get into the first ditch and look for a tunnel almost directly across the ramp that leads down.

The fights range from pretty simple to quite complicated and are definitely fun. Each victory earns you 250 reputation with the Brawler's Guild. Every four wins you make it to the next Rank. Each encounter has a mechanic and some are really difficult towards the end.

Also: I farmed my invite out of rare mobs. Muerta dropped it for me. I had to kill them approximately 30 times; I was Revered with the Black Prince by then.

The drop chance is certainly under 10%. Also, these rares spawn MUCH faster than the other rares. Quickest I have seen them spawn is 30 minutes. Slowest was 55 minutes. So, camp it and keep farming. It'll take time, but you'll get it.

Update: Upon reaching Rank 8 ( and defeating one of the ''rares'' ) you'll be awarded the title ''Brawler''.

Comment by Everik

After u get it from BMAH, u can already invite some people or this invite its just for who bid? (sorry for my bad english)

Comment by Ramdasbir

Outbid 3 times on day 1 of these showing up on the BMAH. Bid 70k, (all my gold).. they ended up selling for 75ish. Will try again tonight!

Comment by Spectrence

Constantly being outbid on the BMAH whenever I'm in the mood to try to get one. (Well, fine, I'll go make my own brawler's guild! With Blackjack! And Hookers! In fact, forget the guild and the blackjack!...ahh screw the whole thing. I'll just stick with farming the rares.)

In my opinion, if you really want one of these and cannot wait for the prices to drop, don't just outbid people on the BMAH, go for an over the top bid since that's what the closing price rests on anyways. Otherwise, farm the rares. Or be patient. The invites'll become common enough eventually

Comment by Mithorium

If you are farming for this, be warned, the invitation is account wide! This is true cross-faction and cross-server. I got it on my opposite-faction toon off-server and spent hours farming it on my main just to find out that I got a "You can't do that right now" message when trying to use it, and that I could already queue for brawls. That is hours of my life I will never get back.

I hope this will save someone from my fate.

Comment by stuffeh

Here's some of the kill times I've had with the 3 NPCs horde side. I checked times after the mobs are killed, so the spawn times are off. After the "hotfix", it feels that Disha and Dalan spawns at about the same times, and that Mavis' spawn timer is little lower and out of sync than Disha and Dalan's. While these two spawns within 1-30 seconds of each other.

Comment by Tongdian

I just got my Blood-Soaked Invitation on the first day from Dalan Nightbreaker.I was awarded with The First Rule of Brawler's Guild on use. Went to orgrimmar and entered Brawl'gar Arena (Anyone can enter but you need to be in the guild to queue to fight bosses).Apparently you must talk to one of the guards (Orcs) to queue. When you talk to one of them, you will find a bar on top of the window. it will show your rank and how much exp you've got. you start at rank 1, each rank has 4 bosses, you need to kill them all to rank up (ofc, you'll fight them separately and you'll be out of the arena to wait for your CDs if you want) . when you reach rank 7 you'll be awarded with The Second Rule of Brawler's Guild (Season 1) which will also reward you with a Brawler's Pass which you will receive through mail. Brawler's Pass is TRADEABLE and CONSUMED on use just like Blood-Soaked Invitation. I've sold my Brawler's Pass for 100k.

another note, as you go up in ranks, the bosses are a lot tougher, even as a BM/Survival hunter with ilvl 480, I found it really difficult to kill some of them. especially at rank 6 first boss. and now i'm stuck at rank 7 first boss, hopefully I'll kill him soon.

also another note, you might want to see other people as they fight each boss, because each boss has certain tactics and DEADLY abilities.

EDIT: CONFIRMED the invitation is account-wide.

Comment by osage

I got very lucky on mine, had a guild member help me, (I'm at 482 item level) these guys can be tough because of all the adds. Was lucky enough to get my invite from the 2nd kill we did.

Comment by Llukard

Re-confirmed.. It's account-wide. Went to my dk on a different realm to farm it after using one from the bm ah on my lock, got lucky and it dropped on the 3rd 4th mob and I won it. When trying to use it, I was unable, so logged out to another char and joined a fight with him.. so the invitation ended up in the bag of another of the guys in the party ;) (at least it was not wasted).

Comment by Murdekklok

49 kills no invitation. Don't know why my comment was deleted just giving facts that I've experienced. I'm watching this thread because I'm curious to see if it doesn't give it to someone because of some odd reason. I have noticed most of the people that have been farming with me are already brawling. It's painful to do this but I'm paitent. Please don't delete my post there may be others with the some problem I'm having.Alliance side serious camper.

Comment by Murdekklok

84 kills got my invitation. This is a hard camp, many people will be grouped to kill. At no time did I kill any of these without competiton any time of day or night there were people there. Could have bought it but once I got past 10 kills I had to know.

As far as spawn times what you'll read here is about right but it's a very random spawn you can get them 30 minutes or 90 minutes. Only camp this if you're crazy, much easier to get an invite from your buddy.

Comment by NoobIRL

i would like to suggest everyone to wait a few weeks and get them from BMAH for much cheaper than currently (that is, when people have already given their invites to their friends.. their friends to their friends.. and so on, and having bought all the 10 invites there are on bmah each day.

these will be worth no more than a few thousand in a week or two, though it depends on how populated your servers are.

i will wait until i can get one for less than 3k because i know they will be that much after a while.. and besides.. whats so cool about getting the 5 achis if you can get them after a few weeks

edit: they are already 3k! enjoy, downvoters!

Comment by Heavenlyrain

After reaching Rank 7 and receivng the first invite to give out or sell.. Has anyone else received a second invite to give out? We have had an issue with a second one not showing up. Further information about this would be great. Thank you

Comment by Lasengnomad

Got mine today at around 7:00am EST from Muerta.

I would say I had killed the rare NPCs on rotation for a total of 14-15 kills before it dropped. It seems the drop rate is fairly low (based on other comments) so I may be fortunate, or maybe they've increased the drop rate.

It should be noted that I'm on a low pop server, but even then, the camp queue during the day and early evening are pretty ridiculous. What I did notice was that almost nobody was there in the early mornings so I changed up my strat and just checked before I went to work in the AM. Today for example, all 3 NPCs were up. So for low-pop servers I would recommend just checking early rather than camping. Good luck.

Comment by abli

Buying the invitation might be more time efficient in some cases than camping for it.If you get bored of statistics and math, you can jump to the final conclusion at the end.

FARMING THE INVITATION

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT:- The currently known drop rate- The currently known respawn timers

ASSUMING:

- Continuous camping of all 3 NPC's

Doing some simple statistics:

WITH NO COMPETITION (Only you are waiting for the spawns)

Aproximately 30 hours will be required to have a 99% chance to abtain an invitaion

WITH HEAVY COMPETITION (4 people at any given time fighting for the spawn)

Aproximately 130 hours will be required to have a 99% chance to abtain an invitaion

A black market derived invitation costing less than 60k gold is more time efficient than camping the elites, in cases of low competition- In low population servers- When camping in late night hours (After 3-4 am)- When camping in weekday mornings (8-12 am)

A black market derived invitation costing less than 260k gold (bids never excceed this anyway) is more time efficient than camping the elites, in cases of high competition- In high population servers- When camping at normal gaming hours

FINAL CONCLUSIONS

Buying the invitation is allways a better deal in crowded servers, or when there is high competition.

Buying the invitation in a price lower than 60k is a better deal in any server, and in any case.

Comment by edibleplates

Sigh, I've killed probably 100 of these rares and no drops. Am I just that unlucky? I know people who've gotten it their first and third try, and I have nothing. I'm going to give up farming pretty soon and just wait for someone to invite me.

Comment by perculia

This page incorrectly states that Bloodbinder Links is the equivalent item for Horde. There was a LUA typo and when we do our next datapush, it will be fixed.

Comment by perculia

I read on the Eu-forum that you have to have pvp enabled for the invite to drop, is this true?

Comment by hellguin

After 3 days of no invitation, i made a comment that i might as well BUY the invitation.... first boss of the day we downed dropped the invite and i won the roll.... Lesson from this? When hunting a low rated item, threaten your computer that yo uare just going to drop gold on it :D

Comment by Murdekklok

Don't even bother with these. You can buy the invite for 1k on the black market now. They have flooded the AH with these, can't give them away.

Comment by Mushran

Well since patch 5.1.0 launched not to long ago, NPCscan still hasn't been updated yet so until then everyone can use this macro I made.

/target Ubunti the Shade/target Kar Warmaker/target Muerta

If you fly near the spawn points you can click on the macro and it will target the NPC IF they have spawned

Comment by Parknet

Comment by HaveyJoe

Confirmed today that these can still drop for you even if you got an invitation previously.

...I decided not to break the news to the nearby hunter that wasn't grouped with me, when I found this out.

Comment by CharleyP

So after wasting 2.5k on additional invitations for my alts I discovered that once you have a 90 invited to the brawler's guild all of your level 90's can participate. I bought an additional invitation and couldn't use it so I went with my alt and queued and it let me participate without using up the invitation. Now I have an invitation that I can't do anything with other than trash. Go figure.

Comment by Modreduk

Instead of camping, you can now buy from Madam Goya who runs the Black market auction house.You can find her near the Tavern in the Mist on The veiled stair, which is also your nearest flight point.For those of you who prefer co-ordinates she is at 63.7, 75.7.The Blood-Soaked Invitation tends to be on offer for 1000g and depending on your server, can sell for little more.

I know some of this info is already up before anyone says anything, but it was not in one place and nobody thought to give exact locations or other useful info so I have re-posted all that vital info here.

Comment by NightmareMJ

These go for 1-2K gold on my server's black market auction house, HOWEVER all players may only bid on 1 invitation at a time, meaning while 10-20 might be listed on the ah, until the first one's auction ends the others may not be bid on(bidding on it increases the time before it sells, so all persons involved must voluntarily cease bidding to make the count down succeed and other invitations open up(however the time window becomes quite small and can become fierce). This is considerably less frustrating than attempting to farm for it on my server as Rare Spawn competition is extremely fierce with 1 to several campers per spawn.

Comment by NightmareMJ

It is not mentioned anywhere or on any guides, so I will mention this here for those interested, ALL THE NPCS THAT DROP THIS ITEM ARE PHASE SHIFTED you must complete certain quests before they will appear to you, it is unknown exactly which ones are required to get the area to appear, but you must complete enough to be sent to "Domination Point" or "Lion's Landing." before the respective areas are visible to your character.

Comment by voxelzz

Probably depens on server, but they are currently up for about 1000-1100g on Quel'Thalas.

Comment by killazszsz

Do this LATE! I did it about 4 in the morning for the achievement. Got lucky enough to get one of these. No other campers around. All were up, took all of 10 minutes to kill all 3

Comment by crazyleggs

Just want to warn others, if u attempt to buy anything off black market be careful when bidding. Perhaps goes without saying, but when u select an item from the list to the left of the screen, u would think the item on the right would change and this is not so. So clicking the item on the left and typing a bid on the right can mean a bid on the wrong item, sometimes at great cost.U r meant to click item on left and bid at bottom.

Comment by Rarestealer

Go for Willy Wilder. He has a 100% drop rate. He spawns by the black market. He is the way to go if you don't want to blow off your money.

Comment by Dragonthingy

Yesterday in the PTR I killed Nasra Spothide and she dropped this item. So I'm guessing all Pandaria rares will have a chance to drop these come 5.3.

Comment by Smo0v

Comment by Frpw

They may have made it so other rares in Pandaria drop the invites. I just killed Karr the Darkener and got one.

EDIT: Why all the downvotes for the 5.3 rare comments? It's true. I believe all Pandaria rares can drop the invite now, according to the comments that have been posted lately.

Comment by Cloudblueyes

Post 5.3, they drop from rares. just dropped it for me.

Comment by Mort1982

As of 5.3 These now drop off all rares in all of Pandaria at the same drop rate as the original 3 rares for each faction. Not sure if this is intended but I have gotten it by farming rares on 2 different accounts so far.

Comment by walawalla

I can confirm it also drops from Arness the Scale. I have killed it, @10:53 a.m., 05/23rd/2013, @Azralon and got one. Once I'm already a member of the guild, unfortunately, I couldn't use it and had to sell it to the vendor.

Comment by silverbroke

Just a heads up that I received this item from Mister Ferocious. It's not listed as one of the NPCs that drop the item, and the item isn't listed on his page either, but it definitely dropped tonight. I'm curious as to where else it can be found.

Comment by Alfa

Had this drop from the rare Urgolax in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, already had been in the brawler's guild previously.

Comment by VSUReaper

So.... what can I do with this if I already have one and get another from a rare mob?

Comment by tekknoxd

I killed 35-40 pandaria rare spawns tonight while working on Glorious! (extremelly low population server) and looted 4 invitations so probably a 10% drop rate.

Comment by Traxus4

I'd like to reiterate the fact that this opens the Brawler's Guild for every character on your account.Don't be that guy that buys a duplicate invite off the black market.

Comment by Livingearth

Just recieved the invitation as a drop from Qu'nas in Krasarang Wilds. I've been killing around 200-300 rares (yes believe it or not) and not untill now it dropped. I have been bidding on many on BMAH but i hve never won it so i am realy happy about this!

Comment by 95RageSpear

Killed a Mantis rare lvl 88 (sik'thik) or something it was called and this dropped. pretty lucky i guess after looking at drop rate from him, 0,4% :P

Comment by Wazdakka

I got one from killing Karr the Darkener while rare pet hunting. He also very kindly gave me Grinder.

I then went to kill Nalash Verdantis (which I did) - and low and behold, he dropped a SECOND back-to-back Blood-Soaked Invitation. No pet though.

Perhaps they stealth buffed the drop rate?

It could be I'm just lucky, because I've killed a couple of other rares in 5.3 and gotten no Invitation.

Comment by Twizm

After farming for the Glorious! Achievement, I suddenly remembered that all rares now has a chance of dropping the Blood-Soaked Invitation. I checked my bag, and...

Comment by petpetfood

The drop rate most definitely buffed in 5.4; I've received over 13 of these items over the past week.

Comment by CherryDarlin

Its October 2013 now, and things have apparently changed...I hear its about 5 hours for the respawn. (I've been waiting here about 3 hours now.) Also its 1,000G on the black market. most of the time there are 3 or 4 on the list and it pretty much stays on 1,000, now bidding wars. But, I just bought the Sand Drake mount and cant afford it...hence my 3 hour "sit-and-wait". Hope this updated info helps.

Comment by ethandabb

If you activate it will it work on a new character you make? And will it still work on characters under level 90?

Comment by VirgilWeller

In case anyone's wondering you don't have to be level 90 for these to drop. Just got one off of Korda Torros on my level 87 rogue.However you do have to be level 90 in order to use them.

Comment by happaman

Sele'na dropped it for me today around 0023 PST on Perenolde. I was farming birds for cooking mats when he popped up out of nowhere, just in time to be hit by my Barrage. Needless to say I was a busy hunter for awhile with two birds and a rare pounding on me and my pet. This was only my 3rd rare kill on this toon. Grateful for the luck.

Comment by mike21daisu

I killed my first rare in a MoP (I got back to WoW) and he droppe this thing... lol :D now I feel sorry for people who farm for this for days... '~'

Comment by dal00c18

Hello wowheaders - just came by to say Brawler's Pass is prolly a way better item to look for - to my understanding it does the exact same thing, but is purchaseable of the AH for like 50g (ofc this varies from server to server)

Comment by Foxsfyre

So I have this dumb thing taking up valuable bag space, but have never been able to "use" it... I click, nothing happens... I had already gotten a paper-covered rock or something on another toon when I first tried to click this invitation... well, I finally had to reactivate the "error messages" (TukUI) to see if it was telling me why nothing was happening, and it said "you are already a member of the Brawler's Guild"... so the question is, do I need to keep it to still access Brawl'gar Arena on the rest of my toons or can I vendor the damn thing?

Comment by yanlin

Warning: Before buying this with 1k or more in the BMAH, check your default auctionhouse for the Brawler's Pass, I was browsing through the stormwind AH and found this item for 500g, way cheaper than you'd get it in the BMAH.

Comment by kazryv

It dropped for me off Siltriss the Sharpener

Comment by tanmaster24

I am starting to dislike these Invs...

1) I bought one on Black AH for 1225g (something like that anyways) thinking I was getting a good deal. Later I checked regular AH and found out I could of got one for like 125g. :|

2) A few days later I was in Kun-Lai when I found a rare who dropped this. And all I can do is sell it for 5 measly gold. :(

Comment by darktangent

Anyone know the best way to obtain this now that WoD is out? There's a quest where you need access to the brawler's guild to turn in, but I can't find the NPC that supposedly drops it 100% and it appears that the BMAH has moved from what the NPCs in the area say, so I'm not even sure the guy that drops it exists anymore.

Comment by BillieJackFu

I was exploring Nagrand and killing ogres when a rare named Durg Spinecrusher spawned nearly on top of me, and looted this item.

It was completely random and I never got an invitation in MoP.

I'm not sure if I should be excited or scared.

Comment by Tac297

Comment by Marty79

There should be two achievements for obtaining this. One for those whose actually grinded the rares for it. And one for those that toke the easy way out and bought it at the Black Market Auction House. The first one Would be called Blood, Sweat , and Tears for those who grinded it. And the other would be I took the easy way out for those who Black Market Auction House it. I know this is gonna get down rated but i don't care, Im hoping blizzard goes back to Vanilla WoW that way people actually have to work for stuff.

Comment by Deviousdb1

Until further notice, all Horde that end up picking this up, you will need to create a ticket. There's a bug with the WOD version that just does not work. It is a bug that Blizz is aware of. I personally had to two tickets, and reopen both of them at least once. The first time they just resent me the invite, and the second they granted me the achieve so that I could partake in the brawlers guild.

"This is the latest response from Customer Support: Greetings Devíous,

I hope the day is treating you well!

Currently it's a known issue that the Horde aren't able to loot that Blood-soaked invitation and use it properly. The developers are working to resolve it as soon as possible. I've gone ahead and removed the invite and granted the Achievement for getting the invite. That should fix you up so that you can zone into the Brawlers Guild in Orgrimmar and talk to the guards to participate in the fight. Sorry for the initial confusion.

If your friends run into the issue before the developers can fix it, they can try using the Brawler's Pass instead, which is what members get to invite a friend after achievement a particular rank in the guild. Can sometimes find them on the Auction house.

Hopefully that helps though! If you need further assistance please do not hesitate to get in touch!"

Comment by Joker1313

Just had two of these drop. First from Durg Spinecrusher who I read drops it so I went to Gorian Proven Grounds and found him immediately luckily...he was just strolling down the path. First kill and he dropped it, so it seems (reading from what others have said here) that it is a guaranteed drop from him. Not even 2 minutes later I killed one of the random Ogres there and lo and behold he dropped it too.
